HarperCollins announced today that it will publish four teen-centric books by A Million Little Pieces author James Frey and debut novelist Jobie Hughes. The first book will be titled I Am Number Four, and will focus on a group of alien teens who travel to Earth after their home planet is destroyed. “The authors have created a rich and imaginative world filled with action-packed suspense that will captivate teen readers," HarperCollins Children's Books President & Publisher Susan Katz said in a release from the publisher.

    I’m happy for James Frey. He is a very good writer despite the debacle he had with “A Little Million Pieces” which I read as fiction instead of a memoir. It’s nice to know that Oprah forgave him for that as well. He is a gifted writer.

    Mr. Hughes is the most powerful novelist of the 21st century. I mean that literally. I saw him tear three phone books in half. “This is what I think of post-modernism, ” he bellowed. Kongrats to him.
